This How-to covers creating an appointment that will display in your Prevail database.
An appointment is an event where a user (or users) is supposed to be at a particular place at a particular time for a particular duration of time.
Hearings, depositions, and meetings are all examples of appointments. The difference between a task and an appointment is that a task has a due date, but no particular start or end time
